The third installment of “America the Beautiful” takes a look at the harrowing consequences of sexualizing our youth, which the American Psychological Association refers to as a mental health crisis, while also highlighting the positive strides made by those determined to bring it all to an end.“I wanted to hear the different perspective from those on every side of the equation,” says Roberts. “It’s important to figure out who is taking responsibility for those at risk in order to make a change.”The central storyline in the film is 18 year old Cali Lindstrom’s “Are You an Ally,” anti-bullying campaign which she took around the country in 2013, sponsored by Abercrombie & Fitch as a result of the teen protest that she organized against the retailer.

After watching an early cut of “America the Beautiful 3,” Chicago resident Jesse Campbell, who was a semifinalist on the hit TV show “The Voice,” was compelled to go into the studio and record A Cappella versions of “Amazing Grace & America the Beautiful,” which are now included in the film. The films music score was done by Sir Kahil ElZabar. Residing in Chicago, Kahil is an international jazz musician that was recently Knighted as a Chevalier de L’Ordre Des Arts et Lettres by the Government of France. Kahil is the fourth African-American musician to be knighted by the French government behind such music greats as Miles Davis and Duke Ellington.
